List #182: Second Anniversaries

It's my Second Blog Anniversary! Yay!

On January 4, 2010 I started writing in this space because I was confused and cold. Then I lived a life, grew, lost, had fun, made mistakes, laughed a lot and then I wrote a few letters to celebrate a one year anniversary on January 4, 2011.

Another year passed. I traveled, I kissed, I moved on, I cried, I laughed, I ran, I moved, I fell, I made more mistakes, and bought new dresses. And then suddenly I arrived at two years.

Since I first started this blog, I finally figured out:

How Reddit works.

That sometimes the one you want isn't what is best.

My favorite types of wine.

How to keep amazing friends close, and cut the ones who weren't there.

What I like to sleep in.

How to tweet.

Dancing in the living room is always a blast.

How to flirt a little better.

What missing really means.

That an old city still holds new people and places to discover.

That it's okay to say no.

That saying yes isn't a contract.

There is nothing wrong with quiet.

How to up it where it counts.

Sleeping together always beats sleeping alone.

How to hide secrets.

To let go.

Happiness.

But I'm still trying to figure out:

How to speak up for myself.

The art of forgiving.

How to not be confused.

Just what you want from me.

How to say no.

Why tights snag.

Filters.

Love.

How to cook scrambled eggs.

Why I am a sucker.

How to quit someone.

Just why I should go to bed early.

What the future holds.

How to stop biting my nails.

Me, you, and everyone in between.

I still can't believe I've been blogging for two years. Two years of lists and letters and everything in-between I am sort of in shock that I've stuck with it. But here we are.

I've met so many wonderful people through this blog and just have to thank you for reading. I don't know where I am going in 2013, but I look forward to sharing it with you.

And I hope you, like me, find yourself smiling a little more and find life a little happier than when you first found your way here.
